How can we help you today?

Google Drive Basics

Sign into your email and click on the Apps icon in the top right which looks like small boxes. Then in the drop down menu, choose Drive.

Creating a folder.

Choose New, and then Folder.

Name the folder whatever your heart desires and click Create.

Uploading a file.

You will see your new folder from the previous steps in the list. Now choose New and then File Upload.

Find the file you want and click Open.

At the bottom right of the screen you will see a progress window for the file or files/folders that you have chosen to upload. Once it is done, your new file will appear in the list. Also, you will get a notification in the bottom left of this window when the file has been uploaded.

Moving files.

Right click on the file and choose Move To.

On the Move window, you can choose the folder you want to move the file or folder to. If you want to move the file to a sub-directory, then you need to double click on the parent folder. Once your chosen location is selected, click on Move. If you want to make a new folder and you didn't already make it before, you can click the Create Folder button here.

Alternatively, you can drag and drop files and folders.

If you open your created folder, you will see your location at the top and our uploaded file in the list for that directory.

Sharing a file.

Right click on the file or folder you want to share and choose Share.

On this window, you can enter the names for who you want to send the file to. If the person is in your contacts, you can just normally type their name, otherwise you will need to enter their email address. You can choose what kind of permissions they have on the selected file or folder that your sharing. If you need to, you can get a shareable link instead of inviting them to the file through Drive.

You can add more then one person to share the file/folder to. Optionally, you can also add a note to the invite. Once done, click on Send. Again, you can do this for both files and folders.

Shared files and folders have a different icon then those that are not shared.
